Soap workshop stories!

Gorgeous Oils, Butters & Clays

Virgin, Unrefined and Organic butters & oils form the base of each variety of soap in our range - creating wonderfully skin-soothing and nourishing soaps to use as frequently as you like!

We add further nutrient-rich ingredients to make hand and body washing a lovely experience by including Purple & Green Clays (in our Lavender & Purple Clay varieties, as well as in our Green Herbs & Clay bars). 

Purple Clay has naturally occurring copper, selenium, magnesium, zinc and manganese which helps to maintain skin health and makes the clay detoxifying, with fabulous absorbent properties. Helps to give your skin a silky feel after use.

Green Clay is the most absorbent of all the clays, helping to draw out impurities and normalise sebum production. Green Clay is prized for being great for all skin types but particularly beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin. Our testers found it to be skin-smoothing on their faces as well as a brilliant aid when shaving!
